5* Wiseguy NBA Atlantic Division Game of the Month on Knicks +4.5 Bottom Line: New York lost by 41 at home to Boston Sunday, but it has proven time and time again that it will respond following such defeats. Consider that the Knicks are 24-7 ATS when out for revenge for a home blowout loss of 20 points or more since 1996. They have won these games straight up by an average of 3.6 points. New York is also 24-11 ATS under coach Woodson when out for revenge for a loss where it allowed 100 points or more. It has won these games straight up by an average of 2.5 points. The Knicks have shine under the bright Friday night lights, going 7-0 ATS in their last 7 Friday games. Pound the Knicks.

Playing against favorites of 10 or more points that are off a home win and playing on Friday night has resulted in a 47-18 ATS record the last 5 seasons. Playing road underdogs of 10 or more points on Friday night has resulted in a 91-50 ATS record the last 5 seasons. This system tightens up to 73-33 ATS if they are coming off a defeat.

This will be their 6th road game in 9 days. Brooklyn has shown signs of life with back-to-back wins, and it will be the fresher side as this will be just its 3rd game in 6 days. The Clippers are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings overall and 1-12 ATS in the last 13 road meetings in the series. The Nets are 5-0 SU and ATS in their last 5 home meetings in the series.

The Bucks are 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games when their starting 5 players combine for more than 160 minutes the previous day. Brooklyn has been brutally embarrassed in its last two games, but I believe it responds here.

Playing any team that has lost 12 or more of its last 15 games ATS, provided that team has is playing 6 or more games in a 10-day span, has resulted in a 90-50 ATS record since 1996.

The Wolves have dropped 5 of 7 on the road but have been extremely competitive in these games with 4 losses of 4 or fewer points.

4* Major NBA *BEST BET* on Bulls +7 Bottom Line: This line is an overreaction to Rose's injury. The Bulls played the Clippers to a 5-point game without Rose in the most recent meeting and certainly have what it takes to keep this one within the number. Chicago, one of the best defensive teams in the NBA, should have success slowing down a Clippers squad that is playing the second game of a back-to-back and 4th game in 5 days. This Chicago team knows how to elevate its play without Rose because it has had to do it a bunch. The Bulls are 17-7 ATS in road games after 1 or more consecutive losses over the last 2 seasons. Additionally, playing against home teams in November that are off a win but didn't cover the spread in the game has resulted in a 25-9 ATS record the 3 seasons.

4* Major Vegas Line Mistake on Nets -1 Bottom Line: The books are giving us a gift with the Nets laying a single point in what is a highly motivated spot. Brooklyn has gotten up for the good teams but played flat against lesser competition. However, with 3 straight losses and no road wins you better believe the Nets will be out to send a message here. They won both meetings against Phoenix last season. Plus, playing against any team off a cover in a game they lost straight up that is going against an opponent that's off an upset loss of 10 points or more on the road has resulted on a 44-15 ATS record since 1996.

4* Major NBA *BEST BET* on Nets -1.5 Bottom Line: This is a bad spot for Indiana as this is its 4th game in 5 nights. Brooklyn will have the fresher legs. It was pushed to OT last night but didn't give a very good effort in that game as it was looking ahead to this one. Plus, the Nets are very deep, and they had 2 days off prior to last night's game. We saw the way Brooklyn got up for the Heat, and it will be jacked up for this game as well as it looks to hand Indiana its first loss of the season. The Nets have been a thorn in the side of the Pacers lately. They are 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings with victories of 16, 11, 5 and 8 points in the last 4.

It will have an excellent opportunity to do just that at home where it has won 30 of its last 42. Houston has a poor road team last season (16-25), and the Jazz have won or lost by 2 points or fewer in 10 of their last 12 home games against the Rockets.

The Bulls have given Miami problems, even without Rose in the lineup, because of the way they get after it at the defensive end. The Bulls won their first meeting with the Heat last season in Miami and split the regular season series 2-2. Chicago has won or lost by fewer than 4.5 points in 8 of the last 14 meetings. The road team is 3-0 ATS in the last 3 meetings. Pound the Bulls.

5* Wiseguy NBA Finals Game 7 *PRIMETIME PUNISHER* on Heat -5.5 Bottom Line: The Spurs blew their chance in Game 6. Although the opportunity to win a championship is the ultimate motivator, it will be extremely difficult for the Spurs to recover, both emotionally and physically, from the blow they were dealt in Game 6. I fully expect Miami to win this game at home where it has won 46 times in 53 chances this season. I'm also not hesitating to lay the points as the Heat are 35-21 ATS as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points this season. The Heat didn't cover the number last game, but they are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss. Pound Miami.

5* Wiseguy NBA Finals Game 7 "Total" DOMINATOR on Spurs/Heat UNDER 189 Bottom Line: Game 7's are a different animal. With so much on the line, teams up the ante on defense. Also, the pace typically slows as more value is placed on each possession. The slower pace tends to disrupt the rhythm of the offenses. We have seen an average of only 163.7 total points scored in the last 3 NBA Finals Game 7's with no more than 174 total points scored in any of these. Also, you want to bet the UNDER on #1 seeds in the NBA Finals if the total is between 180 and 189.5 points. Doing so has generated a 24-6 record the last 17 years. Pound the UNDER.

4* Major NBA Finals Game 6 "Total" Dominator on Spurs/Heat UNDER 191 Bottom Line: The last 3 games of the series have finished over the number, but I expect that to change with a change venue. Miami is 4-0 UNDER in its last 4 home games and the Spurs are 3-0 UNDER in their last 3 road games. Besides, even with the 3 consecutive overs, these two have still finished UNDER the total in 22 of the last 30 meetings, including 12 of the last 15 in Miami. San Antonio shot 60% in Game 5, but that won't happen in Miami where they shot under 42% in Games 1 and 2. Both teams know the way to the title starts on the defensive end, and both teams should be locked in defensively as one tries to end the series and the other fights for its life.

5* Wiseguy NBA Finals Game 6 *PRIMETIME PUNISHER* on Heat -7 Bottom Line: The Heat are 12-0 SU and ATS in their last 12 games following a loss, and each of these victories have come by double digits. They are also 16-4 ATS this season when out for revenge for a same-season loss to an opponent. They have responded to win these games by an average of 13.4 points. Miami is 45-7 at home on the season where it carries an average winning margin of 10.4 points. I fully expect the reigning NBA champs to force a Game 7. Pound Miami.

5* Wiseguy NBA Finals Parlay of the Year on Spurs +1.5/UNDER 188 Bottom Line: With 2 full days of rest on their side, I fully expect both of these teams to play tenacious defense in Game 5. Miami is 11-3 UNDER this season when playing on 2 days' rest this season. The Spurs are also on an 83-62 UNDERS run in home games when playing on 2 days' rest. It's also very typical to see a team pick up its level of defensive intensity after getting blown out. That's been the case for the Spurs, who are on a 33-17 UNDERS run at home following a blowout loss of 15 points or more. Also, you want to bet the UNDER on all teams in the NBA Finals if the total is between 180 and 189.5 points because doing so has produced a 50-16 (75.8%) mark the last 17 years. We've seen only 179.3 total points scored on average in these contests.
I believe the Spurs will want this game just a little more knowing they'll have to win two in a row in Miami if they don't get the job done. They know that's likely too much to ask so they'll leave it all on the floor. I'm expecting a strong game from Ginobli to the be the difference. He's getting call out by everyone (media, teammates, coach), and I believe he'll respond the way great players do. The Spurs have followed up each of their previous 3 playoff defeats with decisive wins. Plus, they are 16-4 ATS when out for revenge for a home defeat to an opponent the last 3 seasons. They have won by an average of 8.0 points in this situation.

5* Wiseguy NBA Finals Game 4 *PRIMETIME PUNISHER* on Heat +1.5 Bottom Line: Even if Tony Parker's hamstring is 100% by game time on Thursday, I expect the Heat to get the job done. The defending champs haven't lost consecutive games in 5 months. They are 11-0 in their last 11 games following a loss and have won these games by 19.8 points on average. Also, you want to take road teams that check in off an embarrassing road loss where they were held to less than 80 points if they are playing their 6th game or fewer in 14 days. Doing so has produced a 27-12 ATS mark the last 5 seasons. The Heat are on a 14-3 ATS run in road games following a road blowout loss of 20 points or more. They are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a game in which they did not cover and 7-0 ATS this season on the road after 3 consecutive non-conference games. Pound the Heat.

4* Major NBA Finals Game 3 *SUREFIRE* on Spurs -2 Bottom Line: The Spurs are 13-3 in the playoffs and haven't lost consecutive games.

San Antonio is also 6-1 at home in these playoffs, including 3-0 in its last 3. The Spurs are 21-9 ATS all-time under coach Popovich when tied in a playoff series. They are 15-6-1 ATS in their last 22 games following a loss of more than 10 points while the Heat are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a win of more than 10 points. Bet the Spurs.

5* Wiseguy NBA Finals Total of the Year on Heat/Spurs OVER 187.5 Bottom Line: We saw 187 total points scored in Game 2 despite San Antonio's big 3 combining for only 27 points and LeBron James scoring just 17 points. I expect the stars to show much better tonight. These teams combined for 20 3-point makes in Game 2, but that isn't out of the ordinary as they average 8 a piece per game on the season. Plus, I expect to see both teams making a lot more trips to the charity stripe in this one. They both average 16+ free throws made per game but attempted only 14 in Game 2. Miami is 18-9 OVER when the total is between 180 and 189.5 points this season. The Spurs are 24-11 OVER when the total is between 180 and 189.5 points over the last 3 seasons. The OVER is also 5-1 in the Spurs last 6 home games and 7-3-1 in the Heat's last 11 road games versus a team with a winning home record. Pound the OVER.

5* Wiseguy NBA Finals Game of the Year on Miami -5.5 Bottom Line: I missed with Miami in Game 1, but I'm not hesitating to come right back with them tonight. The Heat appeared on the verge of busting Game 1 open several times before falling flat in the 4th. The Game 1 defeat assures us they'll come out with even more energy and passion tonight. The Heat lost Game 1 of the NBA Finals last year but then rattled off 4 consecutive wins against the Thunder so they will enter Game 2 with complete confidence. No team in the NBA has shown as much resiliency as the Heat, who are 10-0 in their last 10 games following defeat. Miami didn't just win these games, it won them big. Each of the 10 were by a minimum of 10 points. Pound the Heat.

5* Wiseguy NBA Finals *PRIMETIME PUNISHER* on Heat -5 Bottom Line: The Spurs haven't played a game since May 27, which will make it very difficult to match the intensity of a Miami team that's just 2 days removed from the East Finals. I believe 2 days of rest will be plenty for LeBron and company as the Heat are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games when playing on 2 days' rest. They are also 4-0 ATS in their last 4 NBA Finals games. Miami is 4-0 in its last 4 games versus the Spurs and won each of the 3 home games during this stretch by an average of 19.0 points.

4* Major NBA "Total" DOMINATOR on Heat/Pacers UNDER 183 Bottom Line: We saw only 169 total points scored in Game 5, and I expect another low-scoring affair tonight. Given what's at stack for both teams, the defensive intensity will be off the charts. The Heat are 20-8 UNDER in road games following a game where they allowed 80 points or less under coach Spoelstra. They feed off of strong defensive performances. And, the Pacers were the top defensive team in the NBA during the regular season. Throwing out the Game 3 aberration, they have held the Heat to an average of 86 points in game at Bankers Life Fieldhouse this season.
